Troubleshooting
Hat does not fit securely
Consider using hat sizing tape or bobby pins for a more secure fit. Ensure the hat is positioned correctly on your head.
Feathers or ribbons are damaged or dislodged
Gently try to reshape feathers. For dislodged elements, use a strong fabric glue or a sewing kit to reattach them carefully.
Hat loses its shape
Gently reshape the hat while slightly damp if made of sturdy material, or use stuffing (like tissue paper) to support its form during storage. Avoid crushing the hat.
Skeleton hand detail appears loose
Carefully apply a small amount of fabric glue to the base of the detail and press it back into place. Allow it to dry completely.
